:)

More seriously, it's marked experimental because people haven't used
it significantly. stevan (the author) is now hanging out on #dbix-class
and supplying extra diagnostic info and adding test cases at a fair
rate of knots; and while the internals are a little scary, they're far
less unpleasant than those of NEXT.pm and MRO dispatch has some fairly
substantial advantages in terms of dependency and method order resolution
etc.

Anyway, it's all happening in a branch and we'll be putting a developer
release to CPAN for people to test against before this goes back to trunk
and a full release.
